Dear family of Ruby, in the early 60 s we, Bob and Judy and our three dear kids lived in Dolores Colorado. We met Ruby in church, she blessed us with your hand me down clothes for my children. Much appreciated! Then when I learned to sew she would have me make different things for her and I started my business ....... Sewing for people. Ruby was a sweet lady and friend. I would call Ruby a few times and several years ago we went back to Dolores and visited with Ruby a treasured gift.
